Statement from Shell-Pennzoil on Kurt Busch

Shell Pennzoil released the following statement on Friday evening in light of NASCAR's decision to penalize driver Kurt Busch.

“Shell and Pennzoil are disappointed with recent actions by driver, Kurt Busch, at the final race of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race season. His actions are in no way consistent with the way we want our brands represented and we have expressed our disappointment and concerns directly to Penske Racing.”

If my pit crew was as lousy as Busch's was during the chase(they cost him a couple of races) Then send him out in a car barely capable of running 3 laps, I thinkIt's took great restraint just not to walk away from the PENSKE. Kurt could do better than second team of a one team organization.
